Excellent tour led by an exceptional guide. The tour led us to places we never would have visited if not for the tour. The cycling is easy a nice change to walking or taking other means of transport.

Heleen_T, Aug 2023

A lot of interesting information about the Cold War and we’ve seen a lot of Berlin. Places where we never had come by ourselves

Perfect way to tour Berlin with a chronically bored teenager

Michael_S, Jul 2023

Berlin wall experience from various angles and tragic stories Peter was articulate and an enjoyable to listen too

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thanks for your feedback, Michael! Hehe, you cannot imagine how much I can relate because I was a chronically bored (and grumpy) teenager myself. ;) So very glad this worked out well and you all enjoyed our Berlin Wall Bike Tour with Pete. Thanks again and see you again, hopefully! Best from Berlin on Bike, Judith

Great 3 hour tour of The Wall

Robert_H, Jun 2023

Our guide Giovanni did a great job with historical dates and facts and brought the experience to life with stories about the wall and the struggles of East and West Berlin.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thanks for your great feedback, Robert! We are glad you enjoyed your Berlin Wall Tour with Giovanni and got some insight into life in East and West Berlin. Hope to see you again in Berlin!

Great tour for family

Kristin_S, May 2023

There were three of us, with one 12 year old. The tour was excellent - there were many vantage points shown to give you a good feel for Berlin. Giovanni was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and very kind. I would highly recommend it.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks for the great feedback, Kristin! We are very happy you and your family enjoyed the Wall Tour with Giovanni. We try to make the tours fun for kids as well, after all it's more fun than walking. All the best from Berlin on Bike!

Berlin - more than just a wall

Steven_D, May 2023

Liverpool Pete was an excellent guide. His knowledge, compassion for the past and its people and passion for the subject matter made this a superb experience. He encouraged his audience to view the past from all angles and this is fantastic in light of the seriousness of the subject matter. He is also great with lunch suggestions! Overall, a wonderful tour

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks a lot for your feedback, Steven! We are happy that you enjoyed the Berlin Wall Tour with Pete so much. There is so much to know about the history of the Berlin Wall and it's great he brought that to life for you. All the best from Berlin on Bike

Great way to see the Berlin Wall & hear about the history

Alex_P, May 2023

We were a group of 8 and although the weather was quite miserable, our guide made things fun enough and we stopped as the group needed. I would recommend knowing a few more spots for refreshments, bathroom breaks, etc. Although we did stop once, it was a fast food style place.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi Alex, thanks for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed the Berlin Wall Tour. And we will try to add a few more spots for breaks to our list. Thanks for the tip! All the best from Berlin on Bike!
